Having a problem with my new motor mounts from MACS. First of all, the holes in the mounts don't quite line up with the holes in the water pumps. I guess I will open the holes up to make them work. Next, I went to install the nuts on the studs to make sure there would be no problem upon installation. Well, the original nuts won't go on. I installed them on my old mounts, and all went well, so the nuts are good. Could the studs on my new mounts be metric thread? Metric thread on a flathead has to be against the law. Has anyone else had problems with motor mounts on their flatheads? Thanks for any inputs.
